This weekly column is in honor of BYU's Jackson Emery, who, for two straight seasons, claimed his squad would go undefeated and win the National Championship.

College basketball has not seen a team go undefeated since Bobby Knight's Indiana Hoosiers went 32-0 in 1975-1976. The closest we have seen since then was a Jameer Nelson-led St. Joseph's team that went 27-0 in the 2003-2004 season before losing to Xavier in the Atlantic-10 tournament. Every season a team flirts with the notion of an undefeated season, but every season that notion slowly fades as January turns to February and February turns to March.

The Emery Board: 1st Edition

More than half of the teams featured in this week's AP Top-25 are undefeated. But with a loaded slate of games this week, how many of them will still be on the Emery Board next week? Once teams start eliminating themselves from Emery Board contention, we will provide some in-depth projection on when they might suffer their first loss. But for now, you get just the basics. No.1 Kentucky (6-0)
Next game: 12/1 vs. St. John's (4-3)
First potential loss: 12/3 vs. No.5 North Carolina
